ACC4006W - Taxation (Honours)

Lectures/Seminars

During periods April to December 2007 and January to March 2008  there will be a programme of approximately sixty-eight seminars, held twice a week or thirty-four weeks, from 7.30am- 9.00a.m.

These seminars will consist of guided group discussions of South African (and other) decisions in taxation cases heard by the courts over the years, aimed at developing the participant's ability to interpret the cases and to apply the principles established in a practical manner.  There will be prescribed reading for each seminar and from past experience it is estimated that students would need to devote some fifteen hours each week to this preparation. The sessions are structured so as to ensure a high degree of participation from all students.

Taking into account the three Income Tax Moot courts, there are therefore approximately 37 contact weeks.

Technical Report (April to September 2008)
Students will be required to submit a technical report or equivalent research project on a topic to be selected by the student and approved by the course supervisor. Students will be required to formulate detailed proposals and are advised to start their research during the vacation period in December 2007 at the latest. The technical reports or the equivalent research projects are to be submitted approximately five months after the last examination. [refereed articles - see note under content]
